Fans react as Iowa football hires former Wake Forest OC Warren Ruggiero
Iowa football made a splash on Monday by reportedly hiring former Wake Forest offensive coordinator Warren Ruggiero as a senior analyst.
Ruggiero spent the past 11 seasons with the Demon Deacons as Wake Forest’s offensive coordinator. Ruggiero was a Broyles Award finalist in 2021 when he combined with star quarterback Sam Hartman to lead the nation’s No. 4 scoring offense.
Wake Forest scored a program-best 574 points and averaged a school-record 41.0 points per game during the 2021 college football season.
A 1988 graduate of the University of Delaware, Ruggiero was previously the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Bowling Green (2009-13) and the quarterbacks coach at Kansas State during the 2008 season.
As Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz added to his coaching staff with the addition of Ruggiero as an analyst, here’s how Hawkeye fans and sports fans took in the news from Monday night.
It’s safe to say that fans are excited to see the “Slow Mesh” arrive in Iowa City.
